No apps are needed to be purchased with the Echo product line..... you just download them from the Alexa app- all are free!

It's plenty useful and fun right out of the box. I haven't even explored it's options yet. I told it to play my favorite radio station and it automatically did so through "TuneIn" which I presume is an ap. I also ask it questions rather than reaching for my tablet to google something.

Out of the box, it's already quite capable. For the apps, or "skills", I've had installed via the Alexa phone app, I haven't had to pay for any of them.

Answer

The Alexa app is free. They only need to have Internet access to use the basic features.

I set one up for my parents and did not have to purchase any type of app. You have to download a free app to setup the connection but it is free.
